Alaska Marine Lines proposes a 30-year lease of Borough-owned tidelands and uplands at Six-Mile-Deep Water Port, supporting relocation of Wrangell’s freight operations and approximately $8 million private investment in marine cargo infrastructure.

Note:

This lease is a critical infrastructure project to move cargo operations from the temporary downtown location to an industrial site. Inferred: The construction phase will require engineering, construction, traffic management, and possibly environmental consulting. The project’s procedural step has reached the public hearing and commission recommendation stage. Additional evaluation and permitting are required, creating opportunities for firms in surveying, permitting, construction, marine engineering, and utilities. There is substantial alignment with public goals for economic resilience and industrial development. Multiple future subcontracting opportunities are likely, including site improvement, utility extensions, and logistics planning.
